Everything after s05 is meh... I mean talk about beating a dead horse. And now Disney has revived Futurama for what? The 3rd time? I only watch it because I hope it will be funny, kinda like how some, yours truly included, followed Simpsons far too long.
It's time to realize that Futurama will never be "doctor, my lead pipe hurts. That's normal, next patient!" or "Hey Universe, check out the dude with the Rolex!" funny again.
After S05 it feels like fanfic writing. Like an immature attempt.
It suffers from Comedy Central syndrome, where everything has to be a pop culture reference or super edgy with little substance.
There's still some good episodes, like Lethal Inspection, The Late Philip J Fry, and Meanwhile, but they still all mostly feel kind of empty.
